Chapter 408: Boudoir JPL
North of Baotou, at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.
After more than a month of air and rail transportation, all the large-scale equipment needed by the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau was finally in place, and the relocation task has since been successfully completed.
In order to allow scientists from far away to carry out research work as soon as possible, many infrastructure departments have directly started three shifts.
With the concerted efforts of comrades, factory buildings and dormitories with brick and stone structures as the main body have been erected on the former wasteland.
Considering the importance of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau to the border area, army reorganization experts also specially mobilized a main force group to be stationed in the surrounding area to be responsible for the department's security and trivial chores.
Before the official start of work, Huang He held a small internal meeting with his juniors and finally decided to divide the bureau into five departments.
Hong is directly responsible for all matters of the first department. The current topic is to study the subsequent development models of unguided rocket weapons such as Red Sun and Red Arrow.
The leader of the second department is still Shan Wenbao, and all designs and experiments related to piston aircraft are conducted here.
The business content of Sanke has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with a year ago.
The original work of this department was to develop new infantry equipment based on French weapons that is more in line with our army's usage habits and tactics. After the overall relocation of the research bureau, the above-mentioned business has been handed over to the Military Industry Bureau of Chuangqiang.
The reorganized three departments have brought together the top talents in radio, sonar and radar in TG. They are committed to developing more cutting-edge equipment for the troops.
As for the newly established fourth and fifth departments?
The heads of these two brand-new departments are naturally the deputy director of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau and Mr. Huang’s disciple: Knowledge is like a forest.
The core project of the former is nuclear physics, and the department is code-named Boudoir. The ultimate goal is to cultivate a beautiful girl who is as beautiful as a flower and can send warm greetings to neighboring countries.
Hmm, physical warmth.
The official name of the latter is Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the department code is Yueli Chang'e. They are currently developing a long-range surface-to-surface ballistic missile.
In short, the current overall state of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau can be described as full of vitality and everything is in full swing.

At 12 noon on March 13, 1942, the director’s office.
After reviewing the summary documents of each department last month, Huang He put down his pen and rubbed his sore wrist, pushed away his chair and stood up from his seat.
As if he heard the movement inside the house, the guard Wang Dexing who was waiting outside the door gently knocked on the door.
“Director, two telegrams were sent from the Communications Office this morning. One of them is from the Liugong Island Naval Military School, and the signatures are Principal Xiao and Brigadier Li.”
“The second telegram is from the Army Reorganization Expert and the Director of Baotou No. 1 Machinery Factory. The specific content needs to be reviewed and processed by you personally.”
As soon as these words came out, Huang He's face immediately showed a look of interest.
In his boring daily work, telegrams from the outside world can be regarded as one of the few ways for him to have fun. What's more, the two copies in the hands of his own security guards have a high probability of containing explosive news.
"come in!"
After receiving the approval, Wang Dexing opened the door and strode into the house. He placed a folder on his desk and then stepped aside to wait for further instructions.
When I opened the first telegram, the first thing that caught my eye was a dozen lines of joyful text. Lao Huang:
I miss you so much after not seeing you for a long time, hehe!
Brother, I have become rich recently, and I am already qualified to challenge the brigade commander secretly. The seafood in the Jiaodong area tastes really good. One day I will ask someone to airlift a portion to you and the Army restructuring experts.

By the way, what's going on with the night vision goggles? Comrades are all waiting.
Brother, Li Yunlong. "
I don’t know why, but when Huang He saw the word hey, he immediately thought of the big white teeth of his fellow countryman.
“Haha, this Li Yunlong is really a drunkard who doesn’t care about drinking. There are more than a hundred words in front of him, and I think they are all foreshadowing the last sentence.”
Huang He shook his head, and the corners of his raised lips never dropped since he opened the telegram.
“But it is true that it is time to prepare a batch of night vision devices for the airborne troops and the main forces, so that the comrades will not be **** on the battlefield.”
In the current battlefield in North China, the Japanese army has realized one thing:
Whether it is a large-scale battle at the corps level or a small-scale operation based on a regiment or even a group, they are almost always the suppressed party during the day.
The gap in firepower and the loss of air superiority made the Japs more inclined to operate at night.
After all, in the dark, the Eighth Route Army's artillery, armored forces and air force will be weakened to a certain extent. If the tactics are used properly, they can even engage in night battles and close combat.
The First Marine Brigade also encountered a similar situation during military operations in the Jiaodong area some time ago.
Simply relying on the illumination bombs carried by the artillery support company has too many limitations. Turning on the tank's lights can help guide the way, but doing so will inevitably reveal one's position and whereabouts.
This is why Li Yunlong sent a telegram to ask his fellow villagers about the progress of the night vision goggles.
Thinking of this, Huang He concentrated his mind, opened the Awakening Brave Tiger system in his mind, and found the target in the unlocked infantry technology.
“Night vision device type 1: The enemy cannot see me, but I can see the enemy is the key to night fighting. The invention of infrared technology has allowed our army to install night vision equipment into the army.
Time required for study: 70 days.
Effect: Military factories in the system can produce vehicle-mounted night vision devices. "
Produced by the system, it must be a high-quality product.
This vehicle-mounted night vision device, both in terms of performance and portability, is far superior to the Sparrowhawk that Desan configured for the Leopard G model in the late war.
Under normal weather, its effective range is a full kilometer.
Even in harsh environments, visibility of at least 600 meters can be guaranteed.
Perhaps compared with the new post-war equipment, the paper data of type 1 is not outstanding. But to deal with the Japs who lack heavy firepower, the 1st Marine Brigade equipped with it can definitely kill everyone. (End of chapter)
